ADVICE: WRITE ZEROES TO DRIVE

Posted: 06-11-2006, 03:44 PM

Take it with a grain of salt, but I wrote zeroes to my 40GB laptop hard
drive before installing Vista 32 bit, and I've had only minor (IMO) issues so
far. I've got a performance index number, or whatever it's called, of 2 - so
it's pretty much just slower than optimal hardware issues.

I know that Maxtor and Seagate have HD utilities you can download as .iso
images.

Good luck. Running Vista is exciting once you get it!!!
